Reincarnated With the Book of Knowledge Chapter 163: Lack of money

Although they agreed to leave, at Rhodes' suggestion, Luffy and others still spent a lot of Bailey to renovate the Golden Mery at the rapeseed port.

Today's Alabasta is not what it used to be.

The drought has been solved and the sea area has been cleared. There are more and more businessmen and talents who come and go here. More than one professional shipyard has been built these days.

It may not be as good as the Seven Waters, but it's relatively simple to just renovate the Golden Meli.

Having Rhode's face, these boatmen of course used the best materials, the fastest efficiency, refurbished the Merry, and gave Luffy and others a very affordable price.

"Goodbye!"

On the almost brand new Merry, Luffy, Nami and others waved goodbye to Rhodes and Sabo, and then quickly sailed into the distance.

Wait for the Merry to disappear from sight.

Sabo slowly withdrew his gaze, was silent for a while, and sighed after a long time:

"You say, shouldn't I let Ace go after Blackbeard."

He is not Luffy, he is a high-ranking revolutionary army, the future chief of the general staff, not to say anything about the situation in the sea, but also can be said to be very knowledgeable, Blackbeard is definitely a very, very dangerous character.

"Can you stop it?"

Rod shook his head lightly.

How firm Ace's will is, it is simply not something outsiders can influence.

"Also."

Sabo was stunned when he heard the words, then shook his head and said: "Forget it, anyway, with Ace's strength, there are really not many people in this sea that can keep him."

Having said that, Sabo felt a little nervous for some reason.

"Stop talking about this, won't you take me to see your site?"

"Hmm."

……

Ten days later.

"I didn't expect your governance ability to be so strong." Sabo said, looking a little surprised.

These days they visited Alabasta, and what they saw and heard were all prosperous, which is very different from the previous desert country.

"I just mentioned a few words. What really developed this country was the joint efforts of the royal family and countless citizens." Rhodes said.

"Is it the Neferutari royal family? One of the original twenty kings, but he did not join forces with the Tianlong people. It is indeed worthy of respect." Sabo said sternly.

The ideal of the revolutionary army is to overthrow the world government, overthrow the dragon people who claim to be gods, but it is not too extreme to overthrow all the nobles.

"Nicole Robin here."

The two chatted a few more times before Sabo spoke suddenly.

"Hmm."

Rod nodded slightly. He couldn't hide this from the revolutionary army, and he didn't want to hide it either.

"The organization originally wanted Nico Robin to go to headquarters, which is the safest place..."

Sabo smiled and said: "But then you killed the leader Green Pepper, and after Megatron shook the world, the people who said these words lost their minds. You killed the captain of the ninth division of CP0 a few days ago, and there was no one at all. Let's talk."

Rod also smiled, and as expected, strength is the best way to persuade.

While the two of them chatted, they also slowly came to a relatively secret place in the capital.

"This is?" Sabo was slightly taken aback.

"Go in and take a look."

Rod said, walking forward at the same time.

As far as the eye can see, it is a research institute with a fairly complete system.

The purpose of this place was to study how to efficiently use dancing powder to get Alabasta out of the drought. Later, it was gradually transformed into a research institute under the direction of Rhodes.

It brings together many local scientists in Alabasta.

The results of the research...not yet.

Robin is wearing a standard secretary OL outfit at this time, and his long, slender and straight legs are particularly eye-catching against the black silk.

Rod locked her from the crowd in the institute almost instantly.

Feeling Rhode's gaze, Robin raised his eyebrows slightly, and after apologizing, he quickly walked towards Rhodes.

Looking at the somewhat hateful leisurely figure, Robin thought about it and found that he couldn't beat him. He couldn't help but resist the urge to throw all the documents and said expressionlessly:

"As you can see, the institute is in urgent need of funds, talents, and equipment, and it is still just an empty shell."

“I can understand the lack of talent and equipment, why is there a lack of funds?”

Rod is surprised.

With the backing of a big country like Alabasta, there is still a shortage of funds?

“…”

Seeing Rhode's natural expression, Robin couldn't help showing an expression of "I don't know how expensive tea, rice, oil and salt are", and sighed lightly:

"Wei Wei is already very supportive, but Alabasta is in vain and needs money in all aspects, and the gap is too large."

Lord heard the words and looked at Sabo.

"Cough cough."

Sabo gave a dry laugh, turning his head away with a guilty conscience.

Although the revolutionary army is very powerful and rich, the spread out is so huge that the daily expenses are astronomical.

"Unfortunately, this is a great waterway after all, otherwise we can let the Flower Country support it."

Seeing this, Rhode shook his head and muttered to himself.

Climbing technology for farming is still very necessary, not to mention whether it can help him in the future, it is also very good to improve the quality of life.

"Are you short of money..."

Rod touched his chin and muttered, "Go rob the Golden Emperor?"

When it comes to money, the first thing he thinks of is this super fat sheep. This guy guesses that just plucking a little wool will be enough to start these scientific research projects immediately.

He runs the largest bank in the New World, runs the largest entertainment city in the world, and is a superhuman-type golden fruit person. He is definitely the No. 1 fat sheep.

"But this guy probably won't be able to fight."

Rod is scratching his head a little~IndoMTL.com~ He can't even handle Ace. Facing the awakened Golden Emperor, he is still in his home field, really hanging.

Even if gold is an excellent conductor and is restrained by thunder, it still hangs. After all, people are a big force, and they can call the world government for support at any time.

Seeing that Rhodes didn't speak for a long time, Sabo was also a little bored. He looked into the distance and whispered: "I don't know where Luffy is now."

The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.

A gleam of light flashed in Rhodes' eyes, "Maybe I can go to the Sky Island to see it!"

"Sky Island?"

Sabo was slightly taken aback, "Does this place really exist?"

"Of course it exists, and it is said that there is also a golden city of Shandora. If we can find it, the funding problem will be solved."

Robin strokes the hair in front of his forehead.

She is O'Hara's archaeology doctor, and of course she is aware of the existence of empty islands.

"But do you know where, boss?"

Robin looked at Rhodes inexplicably with a hint of exam in his beautiful eyes.

"Is there something I don't know?"

Rod asked calmly.

Robin was choked and really didn't know how to refute.

"I'm not going."

Seeing that the two of Rhodes seemed to have some signs, Sabo said goodbye very interestingly,

"Going back to headquarters."

After speaking, he dodged a few times and quickly disappeared.

"How about you, Robin?"

Rod looked at her with a smile.

Robin's face was calm, his arms folded over his chest, and his beautiful eyes flashed with determination.

She would rather die of curiosity, work until late at night every day, and her hairline is rising, and she will never go out with this unscrupulous boss.

"I heard that there is historical text on it..."

Robin immediately changed his face and said solemnly:

"Please take me with you."
